Overview

We will join the Bridle path which winds gradually up onto the top of Drumau Mountain.  Here we will see Careg Bica, the ancient Standing Stone.

We will follow the ridge over to the Trig Point where commanding views can be seen over the Neath Valley.

The walk will then descend through woodland paths to return to the start point.
